Barnardos Bridal Rooms

The secret to looking stunning on your big day for less…

The two Barnardos Bridal Rooms have proved hugely successful with many new brides eager to save cash yet not have to compromise on the most important aspect of the big day:looking gorgeous!

The Bridal Rooms in Carlow and Dun Laoghaire stock brand new bridal gowns and accessories that have been donated by some of Ireland's top bridal retailers, wholesalers and designers. Retailing at just a fraction of their high street cost, the Barnardos Bridal Rooms have a wide range of styles and sizes from 8 to 18+. The bride-to-be who visits our boutiques is treated to an individual consultation with one of our bridal experts who can offer help and advice. Our designer dresses are donated seasonally so our boutiques are filled with the latest styles that track international designer trends.

Why spend thousands on a dress when you'll only be wearing it for a few hours? Buy a stunning brand new designer dress at Barnardos Bridal Rooms, with prices starting at €250 and put the extra cash towards something you will be wearing everyday, like the ring. Or how about upgrading the honeymoon? Or inviting more friends and family to the wedding?

Not only will you be looking beautiful on the big day and have saved money you will also have directly helped Barnardos continue on with services that help disadvantaged children and families in Ireland.

This bridal service is by appointment only to ensure that we can offer an exclusive bridal consultation service.
